Solving the situation between the two Tottenham players was not enough.

This event in the life of the 27-year-old performer would have gone unnoticed by the vast majority of the football community, if not for one careless joke of the football player.
During the filming, the TV presenter asked Bentancourt for the shirt of his teammate, Korean Son Heung-min, to which he replied: “Sonny? Maybe it’s Sonny’s cousin’s shirt. They all look the same.”
This material eventually ended up in the appropriate commission of the Football Association of England, which charged the Tottenham midfielder with a racist joke back in early September.
And only now, the proceedings were completed with the final decision on the disqualification of Bentancourt for the next seven matches of “Spurs” in the domestic arena.
In addition, Rodrigo will be obliged to pay a fine of 100,000. pounds sterling.
It is worth noting that the disqualification applies only to matches of the Premier League and Cups within the country.
That leaves Tottenham without Bentancourt for games against Manchester City, Fulham, Bournemouth, Chelsea, Southampton, Manchester United and Liverpool.
